Congratulations Sophia!
You are March's Student Poet of the Month!

Deaths of Two Ants
-Poem by Sophia Jih

Crusted lemonade yawns
against the cup’s lip.
We tread frantic ripples into our sea—
so void of coral, no sand in which
to spear our feet—knock our heads
against the goldfish trap; a writhe,
helpless curl.
Eventually I drop, serene
within the coolness.  You will
follow me, our hearts pulsating,
then none, and we vanish
through yellowed light.

On the last day of every month this year, we will be posting the best student poetry that we received in that month. So get in your entries now for April! You can either click on "Submit Your Writing" on the right or you can email your poems to word@weeklyreader.com. Each winner will receive a glamorous prize and then, at the end of 2007, we'll have a vote to let YOU decide who was the Student Poet of the Year! Sweet.

Here are the Student Poets of the month so far:
January - Tia DeShong - "The Age of Reverie"
February - Gloria Maciorowski - "August"
